PART 3 OF MILLENNIUM GARDEN

I completed a second block of "Millennium Garden" last evening but it is really part three. Part two was making three of the star blocks. One of which went into making the part three block.

What are you doing for New Year's Eve? I will be sewing. We learned long ago that being out on the roads on New Year's Eve is not the safest time. And restaurants are crowded. If you are out and about this evening, drive safely!

Wow you have been busy, gorgeous projects from last post and also the block from this post. We have cows to milk first thing every morning and learnt long ago that early starts and late nights do not mix - so a quiet night for us :-) Did wake up at midnight, texted the kids, then went back to bed!! Happy New Year to you and your loved ones.

Hallo Karen....I am sewing too....and watching tv at the same time...my husband cant stay up that long so i am always alone watching the fireworks at 12o`clock..the boys live in another country and have there own family`s and lives...i don`t mind really...this is`nt the first year i am doing this....glad that i dont have to be on the road too...i am trying now to make the little scrap houses from here:http://buildinghousesfromscraps.blogspot.com/and they are not that easy to make so it will be 12 in no time....I just love your "winter garden quilt...its lovely....great in your header too...So have a happy and healthy new year with lots of new projects to make....greetings Francien...Netherlands

Beautiful blocks. Those fabrics are so nice in this project.We usually have quite a bit of family over on New Year's Eve for a meal and games, but most of them depart well before the ball drops. This year most of them will be out of town, so we are having an early supper to accommodate our 80-something parents who will be with us. I am probably going to be the only one awake when the ball drops--and I will be sewing!! : )

Happy new years to you and yours! I'm heading into work right now, but I should be out by 5 or 6. Then I'm walking 2 doors down for a bbq and then we will wander into town to toast in the new year with a few friends.

Another wonderful block...I love all of your quilts!!! We are going to supper with friends, then coming back home early....we don't like being out late on New Years Eve either. Happy New Year...I like the idea of sewing in the New Year...sounds like a great party to me!

You do such a wonderful job and are so inspiring. I hope to do more quilting next year, after all the projects are finished up around the house. Thanks so much for sharing, I love seeing your projects! Happy new year.Julie

I love that block! We're eating out at a local buffet and coming right home before the drunks are on the road. I'll be quilting while Randy watches a movie thru the backs of his eyelids! Happy New Year!

Love your Millennium Garden! It's such a great quilt.Our plans are to go out (early, very early) for some sushi then come home and relax. We'll probably watch something mindless on tv and I can get a few more stitches in those hexagons *s*Happy New Year!

That is a very sweet block! I'm staying in too, we don't leave the house on New Year's Eve, ugh....although it may not be safe at home, if the gunshots I've heard already are any indication! Why do people do that!

Another tempting blocks I'm not supposed to see! lol I ordered a pattern and a kit to make a prim mini Santa project. I wonder if you're going to do the Christmas Saturdays thing again next year? I'd love to join if you are up to that again :) I'll be stitching (XXX kind of stitching.) the rest of the day. Happy happy new year!!
